🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

• N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟥 Red)

• F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)

• P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟨 Yellow)

• E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)

• R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟦 Blue)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

1. Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.

2. Listen back with one color/goal in mind.

3. As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.

4. Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.

5. Choose a small “spot” section from your markings — just a few measures or a tricky passage.

“Spot” until it’s solid

• ✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or

• ✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

1. Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.

2. Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

• Do you need to slow down?

• Should you practice hands alone?

• Could you make the spot even smaller?

• Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?

• Do you need to think ahead more clearly?

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

• N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟥 Red)

• F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)

• P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟨 Yellow)

• E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)

• R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟦 Blue)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

1. Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.

2. Listen back with one color/goal in mind.

3. As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.

4. Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.

5. Choose a small “spot” section from your markings — just a few measures or a tricky passage.

“Spot” until it’s solid

• ✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or

• ✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

1. Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.

2. Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

• Do you need to slow down?

• Should you practice hands alone?

• Could you make the spot even smaller?

• Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?

• Do you need to think ahead more clearly?

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

• Do you need to slow down?

• Should you practice hands alone?

• Could you make the spot even smaller?

• Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?

• Do you need to think ahead more clearly?

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

• N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟥 Red)

• F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)

• P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟨 Yellow)

• E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)

• R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟦 Blue)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

1. Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.

2. Listen back with one color/goal in mind.

3. As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.

4. Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.

5. Choose a small “spot” section from your markings — just a few measures or a tricky passage.

“Spot” until it’s solid

• ✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or

• ✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

1. Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.

2. Goal is to erase all of the colored pen in the music next lesson.

3. Make sure grace notes are soft and faster.

4. RH, LH, HT, with music - three times in one week.

   1. 1-8, 9-29, and 30-End.

🖤“Sight-Reading 2B”

(Approx. 3-5 min each day)

1. Continue from page 37 of 90 (of the PDF)

2. Be sure to move forward through mistakes - don’t correct them until you finish the exercise - then fix them in your MIND first before you try the entire thing again.

3. PRACTICE SIGHT-READING NO FASTER THAN M.M. 50 PER QUARTER NOTE.

🎨 Color-Focus Practice (NFPER)

At the top of your music, write NFPER using the following color system:

• N – Notes – correct pitches and accidentals (🟥 Red)

• F – Fingering – consistent, effective finger choices (🟧 Orange)

• P – Position – hand shape, posture, and keyboard geography (🟨 Yellow)

• E – Expression – phrasing, dynamics, articulation, tone, etc. (🟩 Green)

• R – Rhythm – steady pulse, accurate timing, and rests (🟦 Blue)

✅ If you're only recording audio, just use NER.

Step-by-Step Practice Flow

1. Record your section once — video is best, but audio is fine too.

2. Listen back with one color/goal in mind.

3. As you listen, mark your music using that color anywhere it needs improvement.

4. Repeat for each remaining color, one at a time, until all five have been addressed.

5. Choose a small “spot” section from your markings — just a few measures or a tricky passage.

“Spot” until it’s solid

• ✅ 3 times in a row correctly, or

• ✅ 5 total correct repetitions, then move on.

1. Focus on one or two colors at a time while practicing that spot.

2. Use the troubleshooting checklist below if you're stuck.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

🎯 If you’ve tried to fix something three times in-a-row and it’s still not working, don’t just repeat it — troubleshoot:

• Do you need to slow down?

• Should you practice hands alone?

• Could you make the spot even smaller?

• Would technical exercises help (staccato, accents, etc.)?

• Do you need to think ahead more clearly?
